Town Hall – June 23, 2018

Thanks to all who participated in today’s Town Hall. We had a nice gathering of folks whose questions resulted in good discussions.

One of the successes of this year’s session was the passing of the Pension Bill. It will help provide stability to the state’s economic situation. The other was the Capital Investment Bill. This will help maintain the state’s assets and provide jobs. For Dakota County, the bonding bill provided $6 million for the SAFE Building, it is a facility to train first responders in the region. Fort Snelling and the Minnesota Zoo also received appropriations.

The main item for next year will be passing a tax bill that will be beneficial to most Minnesotans.
